HttpService is not allowed to access ROBLOX resources?
I am making a Script builder and i made a Create Http , But there are some errors
if string.sub(m,1,3):lower() == ("ch/") then
local subj = string.sub(m,4)
local hs = game:GetService("HttpService")
local link = string.sub(m,string.find(subj,"/")+1)
subj = string.sub(m,4,string.find(subj,"/")-1)
local int = Instance.new("StringValue",desk.outPut.Scripts)
local gotAllowed = true
local reason
for _,x in pairs(desk.outPut.Scripts:GetChildren()) do
if x.Name == subj then
gotAllowed = false
reason = "Script already exists"
end
end
if subj:find(" ") then
gotAllowed = false
reason = "Script Name is not available for use"
end
if gotAllowed == false then
sendOutMessage(reason,"error")
int:Destroy()
return ;
else
int.Name = subj
int.Value = hs:GetAsync(link)
addScript(subj)
end
end
First, i do ch/hello/https://pastebin.com/raw/U0GBSQDL for example, and what i get is a value with the name "he" and without a Value, Can i get some help please

Okay, so to figure out why this isnt working, I'd start by trying to narrow down to what is actually causing the problem. In your case, my guess is either the HttpService itself, or the way you are manipulating either the user input.
So - lets test if it is the http service! I quickly added a new script, and typed in the following:
local hs = game:GetService("HttpService")
print(hs:GetAsync("https://pastebin.com/raw/U0GBSQDL"))
After running that, success, the code located at the pastebin link was printed into the console. So by doing this, we have proved that the httpservice itself is not the issue, so the issue must be in how you are either reading the user input.
Lets do some further tests to figure out where the issue is. I commented out my original code, and entered the following:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(m)
if string.sub(m,1,3):lower() == "ch/" then
print("Getting name + link")
local subj = string.sub(m,4)
local name = string.sub(m,4,string.find(subj,"/")-1)
local link = string.sub(m,string.find(subj, "/")+1)
print(name)
print(link)
end
end)
end)
When I ran this, and typed into chat (ch/hello/https://pastebin.com/raw/U0GBSQDL) as you said before, I got the same results as you, the console read
Getting name + link
he
lo/https://pastebin.com/raw/U0GBSQDL
So, we found the issue, how can we go about fixing it. Well, lets rewrite how you are splitting up your message string. Here is my code now:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(m)
if string.sub(m,1,3):lower() == "ch/" then
--We know the first 3 characters are 'ch/' so lets ignore them
m = string.sub(m, 4)
--We now know the string is in the format NAME/LINK
--So lets search for the / character
local charPos = string.find(m, "/")
--We now know where the / character is, lets split!
local name = string.sub(m, 1, charPos-1)
local link = string.sub(m, charPos + 1)
--Print to console
print(name)
print(link)
end
end)
end)
And after chatting the original message again, success! We have extracted the name and the link from the message - the console now reads
hello
https://pastebin.com/raw/U0GBSQDL
So, we've located the problem and solved it! I'll leave integrating the new splitting function into your code to you, if you have trouble let me know.
Hope this helps, happy coding :)
